Abstract
In this study, it was tested whether the quartzite sample taken from the Koçyazı formation could be used as an OSL dosimeter using the optical excitation luminescence (OSL) method. In the study, dose-response OSL measurements were carried out for 13 different dose values between 1 -1100 Gy. When the behavior of OSL signal intensities against the exposed doses was examined, it was observed that it had a linear behavior in the range of 1 to 600 Gy. However, when its reusability, which is one of the important tests as a dosimetric material, was examined, it was seen that it exceeded the limit of 5% after the 4th cycle.
